《Chosen - A CYOARPG》Prologue - Silverbane City
Advertisement
With how torn you are between the city and the town, your choice is left to fate.
On a roll of 1-50, you will be born within a town.
On a roll of 51-100, you will be born within a city.
[Rolling D100]
Roll: 72 - City
How fortunate that you are going to find yourself within a city. Residing within the heart of the Silvers region, Silverbane is one of the largest cities within the realm ruled by Queen Amindal and her husband, King Rovar. The pair that rule the city are Margave Ornal Silverbane and Margrave Lindia Silverbane, whose family the city was named after generations ago. In another timeline, it could have been possible that the Silverbanes could have been the rulers of the realm, but it is what it is.
This city is also home to two more noble families, both sworn to the Margaves. There is the Lord in Arms Harold Blackburn, a bachelor in his mid-40s, who made his name on the battlefield having saved the Margaves life more than once. Then there are Barons James Littlewick and Baron Joanne Littlewick, whose family was uplifted to Barons when the Silverbanes became the Margraves generations ago by the original rulers that conquered the realm.
Lord Mayor, an honourary ranking rather than actual nobility, goes to Lilia Blackmarsh, a distant relative of the current Lord in Arms. Though also part of the war effort, a harsh injury left her unable to continue. Margave Lindia lifted her into the role of Lord Mayor. It is rumoured that she could have been made a Lord in Arms as well if she hadn’t been injured.
Well, what’s happened has happened. At least she isn’t stuck in the middle of the void, shackled for eternity so I don’t think she can complain.

Right, sorry.
The city is supported by a retinue of a Miayan typically. Excuse me, a hundred or so guards. A Miayan is typically used to describe a hundred or so soldiers, guards and the like. The Margrave has his own personal army as well as some knights. Most nobles have knights, but only certain nobles have a professional army at the ready.
If you find yourself wanting for anything, the city is the perfect place. Market stalls are common place, with travelling merchants making seasonal trips, and the stores about the city can accommodate most items you may require.
Probably the most important thing you need to know about the city is its Religious Orders.
This city is fanatical about its religion. When the Silverbane first took power all those years ago, it was mostly because of her ruthless slaughtering of any lycanthropes that once dwelled within their lands.
Due to this there is a temple dedicated to Silversmith, the minor God of monster hunting, holds quite a bit of influence even in comparison to the temple dedicated to the main gods. You’ll find paladins and priests wield large amounts of power and influence, and are quite the rowdy bunch.
Most of the other organisations don’t need to be mentioned at this point, the temple is the main one that you really need to worry about.
The main question though…
Is who are you?
I can give you several options.
My powers are limited at this moment, so I can’t offer much more than this.
Firstly your gender.
Male?
Female?
Then comes your background.
Were you raised in a temple?
Were you raised as a crafter?
Were you raised within a military household?
Were you raised on the streets?

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella

After Days Chronicles: A Cabin By A Lake And The Things Beyond.
They had come to this place in a mysterious way. A tempest in time whisked her to him then him and her to here, a cabin by a lake, on the top of a mountain, in a valley that no map remembered. Earth, after the Breaking, is a middle ages, modern day, post apocalyptic cluster-fuck. All living things have been altered, in one way or another. The human race is not exempt. Although most of its changes are physical, not mental. Nor moral, for that matter. This is just one of the many stories of the time known as The After Days. 'So, you control the essence?' "No. I give the thing that is, hmm... the essence inside, the bility, hmmph, the a-bilty to move and shape. I tell what I need and they do, or do not if they not liking it." 'Okay let's see if I get this straight then, you touched the rope and gave its essence the ability to move like a snake, then you asked it to do what it did and it...?' "NO! I speak with mind to the hemp and vine, gave its essence the ability. Yes. Ask it to help me. It say sorry for the hurt. Not you I say, not you, you not hurt me. He make you to hurt! He hurt. You no hurt. Help me, free me. Please. Get me keys. It touched the blood on me. I felt it, sad. I felt it anger. I not ask it to. It kill Mekel, I not ask, but I knew, it, was... umm... chance... poss-a-bility. Nature knows. Nature does. I not force nature, I only ask for help."
